Fund OverviewThe MHOR Australian Small Cap Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index over a rolling 5-year period after fees and expenses. The portfolio is made up of 25-75 stocks listed on the ASX or NZX. The fund may also invest in stocks to be listed within the next 12 months. The portfolio is constructed to achieve an aggregate exposure that delivers a growth profile that is materially above that of the broader market. The fund may hold between 0% - 50% of its assets in cash.

MHOR looks for investment that exhibit the following set of characteristics:
-Opportunity - to take advantage of growth and positive alignment with industry themes and trends.
-Quality business - competitively advantaged product or service offering.
-Financial flexibility - appropriately resourced to capture its opportunity.
-Management - with the vision and capability to bring it all together.
-Fundamentally undervalued.

MHOR also considers labour standards, environmental, social and ethical considerations when making investment decisions but only to the extent that these factors impact the assessment of risk or return. The minimum suggested investment timeframe is 3-5 years.
Manager CommentsThe MHOR Australian Small Cap Fund returned +1.30% for August. Since inception in August 2016, the Fund has returned an annualised +5.95%, beating the ASX Small Ordinaries Index by +4.36%.

Three of the largest contributions came from Imdex (+23%), Alliance Aviation Services (+9%) and NextDC (+11%). The major detractor for the month was TopBetta Holdings (-7%), however, MHOR's view is that the stock continues to demonstrate strong positive momentum and they see numerous catalysts ahead which should drive the stock price higher.

MHOR note in their latest report that Small Cap equities outperformed Large Caps during August (XSAOI +2.71% vs ASX100 -0.31%), underpinned by strong gains in smaller resources (XSR +6.85%) and a solid uplift in smaller industrials (XSI +1.42%). MHOR remain of the view that the Fund is well positioned to outperform the ASX Small Ordinaries Index with a diverse portfolio of stocks leveraged to multiple structural growth themes and trends, as well as a number of overlooked classic value plays.
